@cloud627, Hello and welcome to the HP Support Community! 😊
Thanks for posting your question. I'm glad to assist you today.
It’s awesome that you’re passing your HP Stream 14-cb010ds on to your brother,💙 To get it ready for him, doing a factory reset is a smart move. Here’s how you can do that:
Reset Your HP Stream to Factory Settings
- Plug in your laptop (just to be safe - no one likes a mid-reset power outage!).
- Click on the Start Menu > Settings ⚙️.
- Go to Update & Security > Recovery.
- Under Reset this PC, click Get started.
- Choose Remove everything (this will wipe your files, apps, and settings).
- Then select Remove files and clean the drive for a fresh start.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and let the magic happen! ✨
